Collections of Estate Plans

Collection #1:

Last Will & Testament (with or without Guardianship Provision for Minor Child(ren))

Durable Power of Attorney for Finances

Durable Power of Attorney for Healthcare

Healthcare Directive/Living Will

Collection #1 is perfect for individuals who do not have any estate plans in place already but perhaps do not want to take the leap into a Revocable Trust just yet or perhaps just don’t like the idea of a Revocable Trust. This collection offers the protection of avoiding probate but still planning for your family and allowing for the peace of mind that your wishes will be carried out. If you happen to have minor children you may indicate, in your Last Will and Testament, who should care for them (through a Guardianship Clause) should something happen to you or your spouse.

The Powers of Attorney for Healthcare and Finances will allow you to designate individuals to take care of your healthcare decisions and your finances should you become incapacitated. The Healthcare Directive, also known as a Living Will, will allow you to specify what kind of decisions you would like the individual you designated in your Durable Power of Attorney for Healthcare to follow. For example, do you wish to be put on life support? Do you want CPR? Do you want feeding tubes, etc.?
